2 About the DTMB option

DTMB is the name of the released standard for digital terrestrial television and digital terrestrial handheld service in China. The transmission standard complies with specifi­cation Chines National Standard GB 20600-2006.
The transmission standard supports two techniques for modulation. Orthogonal fre­quency division multiplex (OFDM) and a single carrier technique.
The forward error correction (FEC) is based on a randomizer, BCH encoder and LDPC encoder. Time interleaving is performed afterwards.

At your IP source, set the "transport stream packets per internet protocol packet" (TP per IP) parameter as follows:
If TP packet length = 188 bytes: Set TP per IP to 7 or 6.
If TP packet length = 204/208 bytes: Set TP per IP to 6.
We recommend that you use a separate LAN infrastructure to stream the transport streams via IP to the IP connector of the baseband board. Also, avoid TS packet los­ses during IP transmission.

Constellation
Defines the constellation.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:DTMB:CONStel on page 58
No pilot insertion.
Adds a control frame to each signal frame group. Each control frame consists of two 188 byte transport stream packets with PID 0x17 (PID = packet identification).
A control frame is distinguished from the rest of the signal frames as follows:
Always QPSK modulated
Processed with a code rate of 4/9 in the channel coding
During a control frame, the byte interleaver is bridged
Adds no control frame to the signal frame group.
Code Rate
Sets the code rate.
"0.4"
"0.6"

Requires "Constellation > 4QAM/16QAM/64QAM".
Requires "Constellation > 4QAM/16QAM/64QAM".
Available for all constellations.

420 symbols correspond to 1/9 of the total carrier count, that is 3780 carriers.
595 symbols correspond to 17/108 of the total carrier count.
"945 Symbols"
945 symbols correspond to 1/4 of the total carrier count.
Remote command:

Guard Interval PN
Defines the initial condition of the PN sequences in the frame headers.
"Variable"
"Constant"
Uses the definition of the table in the standard.
Uses the initial condition of index 0 for all signal frames.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:DTMB:GIC on page 59
Time Interleaver
Defines the depth of the basic delay.
Time interleaving minimizes the negative influence of spurious noise on the transmis­sion process and increases the robustness of the overall system. The signal delay is implemented in the same way as with the byte interleaver using paths with increasing delay depth.
Unlike the byte interleaver, the symbols are interleaved with the aid of a device (convo­lutional) with increasing delay depth. A byte interleaver operates at the transport stream level.
The delay depth x
increases with the positions of the device by the following delay
delay
stages:
x
= B * (B − 1) * M
delay
Where:
B is the number of device positions, that is fixed to 52.
M is the depth of the basic delay in symbols. The signal delay increases with the value of M.
"240/720 Symbols"
Basic delay of 240/720 symbols
"Off"
Disables/bridges the time interleaver.
